Police state violence targets dissenters. Thousands are arrested. Terrorism and other false charges follow. So do convictions. Victims face harsh imprisonment. For some it's longterm.

No country imprisons more journalists than Turkey. Thousands are wrongfully accused of terrorism and other anti-government charges. Press freedom's verboten. Independent thought's not tolerated.

Turkey's more police state than democracy. Erdogen bears full responsibility. He's had intermittent disputes with Israel. More on that below.

On July 6, New York Times writers David Kirkpatrick and Mayy El Sheikh headlined "Morsi Spurned Deals, Seeing Military as Tamed." A previous article discussed it, saying:

Ahead of his ouster, Morsi huddled with aides. "(H)e received a call from an Arab foreign minister with a final offer to end a standoff with the country's top generals, senior advisors with the president said."

The unnamed official was Washington's emissary. He offered Morsi a deal he knew he'd reject.

He asked if he'd "accept the appointment of a new prime minister and cabinet, one that would take over all legislative powers and replace his chosen provincial governors."

Morsi rejected a similar proposal earlier. "This before that," he said. He repeated a "vow to die before accepting what he considered a de facto coup."

It was about to begin. White House and State Department officials kept low profiles. According to The Times:

"The abrupt end of Egypt's first Islamist government was the culmination of months of escalating tensions and ultimately futile American efforts to broker a solution that would keep Mr. Morsi in his elected office, at least in name, if not in power."

"A new alliance of youthful activists and Mubarak-era elites was driving street protests." Strings were pulled in Washington.

Last fall, Morsi knew he might be ousted. He told close advisers:

"Do you think this is the peak? (It'll) be when you see my blood flowing on the floor."

He erred thinking SCAF supported him. After Mubarak's ouster, he was MB's designated envoy for talks with ruling generals. He thought he developed close ties.

Close aides said he was the last to know his days were numbered. Around mid-June, Morsi's inner circle saw imminent trouble. SCAF head General Abdul Fatah al-Sisi warned of a growing "split in society."

Divisions between Morsi and opponents compels the military "to intervene," he said.

Morsi didn't expect a coup. At least not so soon. He remained defiant. It didn't matter. It was too late. The die was cast. Steps to remove him were underway. Washington's dirty hands were involved. Maybe Israel's. It wouldn't surprise.

A previous article said Israel's complicit in what's ongoing. On August 18, The New York Times headlined "Israel Escalating Efforts to Shape Allies' Strategy," saying:

"Israel plans this week to intensify its diplomatic campaign urging Europe and the United States to support the military-backed government in Egypt despite its deadly crackdown on Islamist protesters, according to a senior Israeli official involved in the effort."

Israeli ambassadors in Washington and EU capitals are lobbying foreign ministers. Netanyahu's government claims SCAF control is vital to prevent further chaos.

An unnamed Israeli official confirmed Netanyahu's involvement. He wants junta power supported. He prioritizes business as usual. Did he and other Israeli hardliner orchestrate Morsi's ouster? Did they do it conspiratorially with Washington?

"Now the West starts to say democracy is not the ballot box or not only the box but we know that the ballot box is the people's will."

"The West should (understand) the description of democracy. They need to learn it."

"This is what has been implemented in Egypt. Who is behind this? Israel. We have evidence."

"If we stay silent in the face of the coup in Egypt, we will not have the right to say something if they set the same trap for us in the future."

He blamed Saudi Arabia, UAE and Kuwait. He did so for supporting Morsi's ouster. They provided billions of dollars in post-coup aid. It's multiples more than Washington. It way exceeds what EU nations supply.

Deputy Prime Minister Bekr Bozdag criticized Gulf states. He said they supported Morsi's removal. They want "puppet administrations." They wanted him out for "better control."

Turkey's one of the strongest anti-coup critics. Erdogen's worried about something similar homegrown.

On August 20, Mossad-connected DEBKAfile (DF) highlighted the anti-Semetic canard. Israel uses it often. It diverts attention. It points fingers the wrong way.

DF headlined "Erdogan in another anti-Semitic diatribe against Israel," saying:

"Erdogan undid the hard work performed by US and Israeli to gloss over his radical anti-Semitic views and the bankruptcy of his Middle East policies, in the hope of co-opting Ankara to a moderate regional lineup."

He accused Israel of orchestrating Morsi's ouster. DF claims he did so to divert attention "from his failure to establish Turkish influence in any part of the Middle East, especially in Egypt."

Israel's a rogue terror state. It's complicit with Washington. They're waging war on humanity. From August 21 - 24, the Kuala Lumpur War Crimes Tribunal (KLWCT) will hold hearings.

Israel's charged with crimes of war and genocide. So is Israeli retired Israeli General Amos Yaron. Palestinian suffering is well documented.

Israel waged war on Lebanon multiple times. It's involved in Washington's war on Syria. Along with America, it's the leading instigator of regional conflict and instability. Rogue states operate that way. Israel's one of the worst.

A Final Comment

Conflicting reports about Washington suspending aid to Egypt surfaced. On the one hand, they suggest Obama did so quietly. On the other, administration and Pentagon officials said it's under review.

No final decision was made. At most, aid might be suspended short-term. It doesn't matter either way. Gulf states will make up any shortfall.
